The White Lady

Situated on a small rock overhang on the highest peak in Namibia, the White Lady is an ancient rock art with a fascinating history. A truly unique rock painting by Namibia’s prehistoric San population, Brandberg mountain’s White Lady rock art caused quite the confusion amongst archeologists who were at odds with what expected the painting depicted. The painting is said to date back 2,000 years, and is one of the most fascinating things to see along the Brandberg mountain range. To see the White Lady, visitors are required to register at the entrance to the Tsisab Valley where an official guide proceeds to give a tour. Tours are booked well in advance at the Daureb Mountain Guides’ office in Uis.
